Conley's Chapter 11

One of the most important sentences, is the first sentences Conley stated oin Pg. 305 of his book. "Writing is one of the most important ways to learn and demonstrate learning in content areas." It is in tuned with our everyday experiences, that occur after school. Writing is composed by its context, the purposes for writing, and the audience.
Demands for writing:
>High school and College Writing: Writing five paragraphs in high schools, and writing research papers in college.
> Workplace Writing: The types of writing for your particular job.
Guiding students to write to learn:
> We as teachers should teach our students how to plan their writing. This plan consist of goals and ways of achieveing our goals.
>We should teach them about quick-writes. This help students put ideas and emotions down on paper.
>We should also have them brainstorm and set goals. The purpose of this part is to make wirting much more informed and goal-directed from the beginning of the writing process.
The guided writing prcedure is used to activate prior knowledge and for the students to think about a topic befor they write.
A stop list, WOW! I have never heard of this in the writing process. It was created to teach students with learning disabilities how to analyze writing assignments and how to plan and organize their responses. I think this is a great way to include all of the students. Conley was thinking of the students with disabilities. Yah!!!
Ways of writing:
>Journals
>Learning Logs
>Dialogue Journals
>Double-Entry Journals
>Writing Reports
>Writing Stories
>Writing Persuasive Essays
>I-Search Writing to Inquire and Research
Teaching the students to revise, should be modeled by the teacher, and remind the students to use these strategies with their own writing.
